Co Routine?

[grimmy]

Hi, how do I have (for example) a constantly increasing float inside an FSM while other behaviour and logic is going on within that FSM?

There's a Float Add action of course, but if I set it too every frame, no other logic will ever be reached and there doesn't seem to be a way to have to concurrent event strands working at once within an FSM.

?

I always wondered if Coroutines were possible with PlayMaker. Any answer on this?

[grimmy]

I guess not. For now, I've just been creating a separate FSM in the same object which simply does the 'other thing' while the initial FSM doe it's own thing.

Maybe that's crazy, but who knows.

Having separate FSMs to control parallel processes is a good strategy. Even if that separate FSM starts off super simple, it's surprising how often it grows as the game grows. If you jammed all of those processes into one FSM it would eventually become very hard to manage.

Hi,

 also, you can use SubFsm to achieve complex behavior within one state, and create some coroutines this way.
